UC FROM THE “HART”

As our beloved retired principal Sister Percylee Hart often said, “The heart of our school is our people.” Her words continue to resonate deeply with everyone who becomes part of the UC Family and remain at the core of who we are as a community. Over the years, students, parents, and faculty have shared their experiences, reflecting the impact of our strong sense of community and shared dedication to academic excellence. Here are some of their stories.

 

 I enjoy attending Union Catholic because of the cheerful and welcoming environment. When entering Union Catholic I wasn’t super nervous because I never felt out of place. I’ve created great friendships with a lot of good people and look forward to making new memories! 
AIrYANNA MONTGOMERY senior student

The fact that so many alumni, myself included, choose to return as teachers speaks volumes about the unique environment UC cultivates. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impact, and I am grateful every day to be part of such an inspiring and welcoming community.
JOHN ROToNDO '07 HUMANITIES TEACHER

Union Catholic has made a huge difference in my life. The teachers truly care and support you, making sure you understand the work and feel confident. I used to struggle a lot with math, but now it's one of my best classes because my teachers always helped me and really believed in me every step of the way. I feel so proud and excited for what's ahead!JOSEPH KELLY Senior Student

When I was looking for high schools, it was hard to find a place that felt right for me and my interests. Then I discovered Union Catholic, and it immediately felt like home. The students encourage each other to succeed, and the staff is so welcoming and dedicated. The strong sense of community here has truly made UC the perfect place for me to learn and grow. NORMANDIE BEVERSluis Senior STUDENT
